Funny video. I like how they can laugh at themselves.

That was good. It is pretty fricking amazing that they can perform a landing at all.

"Look, that's not an explosion, It's just a rapid, unscheduled disassembly."

Good god! How many attempts before they actually mastered getting the damn thing to land?

A LOT.

But they eventually got it right. Watching the Falcon rockets land is like something out of a science fiction movie.

Being able to salvage and reuse a booster in a pretty short amount of time is a great step. Starship, once completed, is supposed to be even better.
